Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Cannot control: If you need Progesterone to have regular bleeding then you are probably not ovulating each month. You could potentially take bcp but that is maybe no better and too much hormone. If you have regular cycles and normal pelvic organs then you should have normal cycles. Hope this helps. Best.
